Toronto police say they’ve charged four men in a distraction theft investigation.

Police allege an organized group committed a series of thefts between Nov. 3 and Nov. 25.

Police say members of the group would watch bank customers and puncture a tire on vehicles belonging to people who removed large quantities of cash.

A member of the group would then approach and offer to assist with fixing the car. While the victim was distracted by the tire, another member of the group would remove the victim’s bags from inside the unlocked car.
